GSP been looking like he has been brutalized, even in fights were he was clearly the dominant fighter...gsp has horrible skin he marks up really easy look at his face from diaz and condit
Fans want to judge fights based on post-fight appearances now...?
yo........he still lost the fight 3 rounds to 2. Watch the replay, watch right before the post fight stuff. He knew he lost breh.

This has nothing to do Rogan, Dana and anybody you just mentioned. MMA fans, fighters and reporters all praise and recognize GSP as one of the best fighters in MMA history.
like whom? serra? who won a reality tv competition and beat him.Hardy? who was a wrestling aversed novice that he couldn't finish...koscheck? overachieving reality tv alum. thiago silva? 1 dimensional striker with no wrestling whos resume was gassed when he beat ahughes. jake shields? we all know the history here.. nick diaz? the dude that always fell to wrestlers and rebuilt his career on beating one dimensional strikers
carlos condit? really? was this guy really ever a serious contender with his limited wrestling D?
or matybe u want to cite the bloated lws he beat
You're nitpicking GSP's resume and competition. The same can be done for any and every MMA fighter, I can do the exact same to Anderson (who I consider the GOAT). Let's go through some facts regarding GSP (a lot of them I've mentioned in the past):
- Fact #1, GSP, at worst, has a top 5 resume in MMA history. Pretty much every fighter you named was ranked in either the top 5 or 10 in the WW division.
- Fact #2 (in relation to the second post): GSP has the most top 5 and 10 ranked wins in MMA history. He's ahead of the likes of Fedor and Anderson. This means he's faced and beaten the best his division has to offer.
GSP's resume shows that he's faced and beaten the most 'legit contenders' of any MMA fighter.
And do the Ring a favor, stop posting about MMA. You have no clue what you're talking about.

That's not how the judges saw it...Hendricks was given Rds 2+4, GSP 3+5...The 1st round was the decisive round...For me it didn't look like GSP lost the first round, at worst for GSP and Hendricks, it was a draw...
Hendricks was clearly the stronger and better fighter, but he did that lazy game plan of "get ahead, and then just coast"...If he wanted to win unanimously, he should have done to GSP what Cain did to JDS...
Hendricks was capable of giving GSP the beating that would have made GSPs decision to retire a lot more easier...
In the clinch he was tossing GSP around, GSP had a hard time getting him to the floor, and keeping him there, GSPs strikes weren't doing any damage...He could have KO or TKO GSP if he just went for the glory with all guns blazing...
It's like, if Hendricks doesn't get that quick KO, he just uses his strength to "coast"...He did the same with Condit...
Hopefully he changes that up. He clearly had the energy to finish the 5th strong and chose to coast it, I will agree. IMO only one judge saw the fight clearly. I had it split to Hendricks.
at rogan saying 3 different times gsp slipped to the ground. we get it joe, hendricks definitely wasnt bullying him 
how much u wanna bet gsp gets the rematch in canada and ''magically'' ''patches up the holes'' and ''dominates'' hendricks in that classic gsp way (sap the guys energy by holding him to the floor with unnatural strength then let him up and put a ''striking clinic'' on).

I need to re-watch the fight, but Hendricks clearly won rounds 1, 2, and 4, while GSP clearly took 3 and 5.
You know the decision is wrong when all 15 media outlets, 75% of fans and most fighters scored it for Hendricks.
